Union Pacific Shaves Two Days Off Los Angeles to Chicago Route with New Service
Union Pacific Railroad is offering a new domestic intermodal service between Los Angeles and Chicago that cuts transit time to three days.
The new service, which will run daily, moves goods and products from Union Pacific’s intermodal terminal at the City of Industry in Southern California to Global 2 in Northlake, Illinois, located near the heart of the greater Chicago metropolitan area.
This is the second premium train Union Pacific currently offers daily between Los Angeles and Chicago.
“We are delivering the service we sold to our customers – and we’re now able to do it faster,” said Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena. “Our railroad offers 70-mph service, allowing us to compete for business, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions up to 75% for our customers.”
